Brand Ambassador Inspiration - A Bit of Sunshine & Rainbow Doodling
Hello!
It's Jane here today.
How are you enjoying the last two releases from Uniko?
Today I have a couple of cards to share using the Sunshine & Rainbows and Background Blocks Rays stamp sets.
I've really been getting into doodling this summer and both my cards have this incorporated.
What do you think? Is this something you might give a try? Be sure to share on social media if you do using #unikoltd.
Thanks for looking today.
Stay safe and keep crafting!

Stencil Sunday - BIG & BOLD and Soft & Pretty!
Happy Sunday!
It's been a while since I did a Stencil Sunday feature, so I thought I'd share a couple more cards I made using the 2 new stencils released on Friday. If you missed the release day fun, you can catch up HERE.
For my first card today I have used Tropical Leaf #2 and Squared. I've been wanting to try this technique for a while using two stencils and took it a little further by creating kind of spotlight effect.
First I used Crushed Olive Distress Oxide ink through the monstera leaf. I then positioned the squared stencil and inked through with Forest Moss Distress Oxide ink.
I love a bit of fussy cutting, so trimmed out my leaf. I then decided to use the squared stencil on my base card. So I positioned where I wanted the leaf to go and placed the squared stencil over the top to line up the squares. I taped down one edge and removed the leaf to stencil the background using the same Forest Moss ink.
It was then easy to line up and adhere the leaf using foam adhesive. I thought the Wish Big sentiment from Simply Said Blocks III was quite apt to pair with this grand monstera leaf!
For my second card today I have gone soft and pretty pastels using Scattered Polka Hearts to create a congratulations card.
I love the small detail blending brushes you can get, they make for easy ink application when you want to create a rainbow effect with small stencils. I used a variety of Altenew light shades of ink to randomly colour the heart background.
I then stamped, fussy cut and adhered the floral heart from Always & Forever to the panel using foam adhesive. The sentiment is from Everyday Sentiments and I stamped it in a medium grey so it stood out, but wasn't quite as harsh as black.
That's all from me today. Though with all the rainy weather we have had this weekend, I have made quite a few cards I will be sharing over the coming days!

Introducing... Stencil Tropical Leaf #2
Hello & Happy Wonderful Wednesday!
There is no hump day here at Uniko, as today we are back with another fun product introduction for our mini July 2022 Release.
Today we are welcoming a new stencil design, Tropical Leaf #2, the Monstera. You might have gathered from previously released stencil designs, including Tropical Leaf #1, how I love to supersize the image. I just couldn't resist supersizing the Monstera from Paradise Leaves!
My mum had very green hands, and had wonderful indoor and outdoor plants. Maybe as she studied botany? But what I do remember is the large Monstera we had in the front room, it was stunning, so the memory of this was part of the inspiration for this stencil.
Let's get to the creativity and inspiration from the Brand Ambassadors, I know that's what we are here for and I know you won't be disappointed!
Introducing... Background Blocks Rays
Hello & Happy Tuesday!
I am delighted you stopped by today as it is the day we begin the first product introduction for the mini July 2022 Release.
The product today is Background Blocks Rays. I am always excited to add to the Background Blocks series, I think these happy blocks of patterns are so versatile and are sized just right to be an instant focal point on a card design.
It's no surprise that the Brand Ambassadors have got their creative juices flowing and have an amazing inspiration to share with you using this latest addition. The colours and pairings with other Uniko products is fabulous, just hop along and see...
